What’s lost: Finished last season with a strong November (including win at FSU), and coach Will Muschamp believed he’d developed into an elite quarterback. Struggled early this season (see: Miami) before injury in Week 3.

OT: D.J. Humphries, Florida

Injury: knee

What’s lost: Florida’s best offensive lineman, he’ll miss this week’s game and may not return until later this month.

G: Jon Halapio, Florida

Injury: torn pectoral.

What’s lost: Florida can’t run between the tackles like it did so well last season, and that’s directly tied to uncertainty on the line within the middle three positions. Halapio is Gators’ best run blocker, and is expected to play this weekend.

DT: Dominique Easley, Florida

Injury: knee, out for the season

What’s lost: No one in the nation was playing better on the defensive line—not even South Carolina’s Jadeveon Clowney. A stout interior lineman against the rush, and a dangerous pass rusher.

S: Tray Matthews, Georgia

Injury: hamstring

What’s lost: true freshman made a big impact early not only in the secondary, but as a big hitter and leader on a young defense. He is expected to play this weekend after missing the previous three games.

S: Josh Harvey-Clemons, Georgia

Injury: foot

What’s lost: A big reason for the defensive collapse against Vanderbilt was the loss of Harvey-Clemons, a physical safety who plays more like a linebacker.

CB: Marcus Roberson, Florida

Injury: knee

What’s lost: A talented cover corner who has missed one game, but hasn’t played as well as he did in 2012, when he developed into an All-SEC player and a dangerous punt returner. He is expected to play this weekend.
